Bit of instant karma for a driver yesterday, using the emergency lane to skip the queue. I didnt realise there was an unmarked police vehicle only 2 or 3 vehicles behind me. Idk if the guy didnt see he was getting pulled over, or was trying to get around me to do a runner, but I made sure to block him in. There was another black car who was doing the same thing, they were lucky not to get pulled too. They pulled in and joined the queue just behind the police vehicle. Think it was a police officer in their private vehicle, didnt see him give a ticket or anything, so not sure what was actually done. He waved me off at about 1:16 in the video. Fairly sure he is a parent at my kids' school. (Dont mind the mess in my truck, parents are cleaning garage and giving me all the stuff they dont want).
Lost some video quality, need to get a proper video editor instead of the online stuff.
I really thought this was going to be a head on crash! Luckily I was only going 60km/h
WTF? On their phone?
I think she was just turning into the Circle K and completely zoned out.

The brother caught this lovely overtaking manoeuvre lately.
Edit: not sure why that hasn’t embedded properly
Poor Lane control, was nearer miss on the corner than clip would indicate.
How not to use a roundabout...
Everyone knows you're supposed to exit the roundabout from the left lane.
Yes, but everyone should know your suppose to approach a 2 lane roundabout from the right lane if you are taking the 3rd exit! (esp when its after the 12 o'clock position). Not change lanes mid roundabout like this driver did.
Typical Irish roundabout attempt at taking the "racing line", woeful driving.
which everyone does when you think about it :)
At least they indicated right and left properly. Most people either don't indicate, indicate right approaching a roundabout when going straight, or indicate left on approach to go straight...
Whatever about the other cars, I assume this is an example of the dash cam driver of how not to exit a roundabout. Cutting across a lane when exiting is extremely dangerous.
<Deleted> I should know better than to get into a roundabout discussion
Been a few years since I uploaded anything here, but this actually shook me. Car barrels through a stop sign without a notion they were doing so. I travel this road often and abnormally wasn't in a hurry for once. It gave me a cold sweat thinking what a difference a few seconds would have made, as there would be practically zero reaction time.
This is why crossings like that should be staggered!
One way to do it...

Le Prince Noir rides again.
Same driver, 2 different roundabouts
Clip 1
Clip 2
That load doesn't look too safe on the trailer either, too wide.
Earlier this month, surprised me a bit
You should see the the ardan junction outside tullamore on the n52. How nobody is killed is beyond me. The stop sign totally ignored. Just pull out in front of oncoming traffic and crawl.
A new video at the same junction.
Skip to 30s, I just fast forwarded for the sake of continuity.
Below happened today. I moved the the right lane as there was a car parked on the hard shoulder. Merc behind was a good bit back, an could have just lift off for a second, but completely ignored the patently obvious reason I moved, and undertook me anyway. I was going a little slow perhaps, but I didn't want to accelerate too hard and then have to brake again before moving left.

Why did you move over and slow down to a crawl - even the van was going faster than you? You had a clear lane
I moved right, as you should, if at possible, for anyone stopped on the hard shoulder.
I then wanted to make it clear to the van that I wasn't gaining on him, and he had plenty of space to move over too.
My car's is a hybrid so the regen braking makes it slow down more than just lifting off, as far as I remember I didn't actually brake, but there was noone behind me.
Lexus RX450h for the Garda, proper covert. Wonder was it a seized car repurposed like that Golf R they had? Can see it has blue LED's in the bumpers.
You have 2 videos. In the (embedded)first, you slow down from 120 to 89 when just about to pass the truck.
It's the (linked) second one where you are undertaken, hence the confusion.
